I am about to break it down for sale. I have all the ammo I could possible need and do not get to the range enough to justify keeping things as they are currently. The buyer is gonna have a lot to work with. From Giraud to Hornady LnL AP with case feeded, rcbs casting pot, many molds, tons of alloy, too many die sets to list etc...
Bittersweet but the good old days are gone for me shooting wise.

I spent an hour trying to get the primer tube autofeed set up on my LnL single stage..

Did you get it

It's usually a timing issue or damn grain of powder is interfering with that slidy thingy from going back to the right spot. That thing can be a real pain in the balls when it goes wonky.

that was a week or 2 ago.. I think I went to the hand primer..

when the LnL tube works, it's not a bad process.. when it's off, it's a royal PITA.., there's a stupid little wire that gets triggered when the priming gizmo is raised up. Has to be set just right to let 1 fall into the cup.. very finicky..

Assembled some 5.56 and 9mm. And found this can some one explain why is it to keep velocity up with less powder.

You would think the thicker brass would be more expensive than the pinch less powder you use.
I remember reading about them a few years ago and didn’t pay much attention because I never saw one.
I literally ran into my first one yesterday. It’s going to go on the cartridge board with other oddities.

I shot some mil surplus and didn't think to separate. So now sorting it out and saw that must of been a range pickup. But now have to go thru all so I have no issue

Nothing to do with reloading, but I did it in my reloading room! I watched the video where a former US Navy SEAL showed Lev from Agilite how he set up his rig. I had a few minutes today to get out to what I call “my safe space” so I offset my pincer placard one mag worth to my weak side. I also ditched the juggernaut iPhone holder I had over my mags and adjusted the rear attachment point of the cummerbund. The offset definitely gives more room on the strong side and the other adjustment really helped. Tomorrow if time allows I toss on my belt to make sure everything else is working with the new changes. Having said all that I did reload some 9mm freedom pills last week…they ran wonderfully at the range the other day.

I hate sorting brass. I just check each headstamp as a load it. It’s a little slower but I’m not usually one to be behind on loading so I’m fine with it.

Beats sorting brass as its own step

I never did sort 9mm. But when dumping in case feeder slows you down

Ahh gotcha. I’m not fancy enough for a case feeder

Part of that lot i bought couple years ago. Even lee with the funnel you would have a issue. Throwing fist fulls in it lee holds hundred plus what's up top used to hate when one flipped

Finally got my bullets from Manchester and loaded 1000 on Saturday and 500 on Sunday. Manchester is about an hour away but it took 8 days. My mailman is great but the USPS sucks.

Sorted and counted all my lake city and WRA brass in .30-06 and .308 win. I have slightly more than too much.

Haven’t done much reloading lately, too busy working on my money pit race car since I waited until spring to tear the motor apart, doh! A coworker gave me a pair of older rock chuckers and four sets of dies for free this morning
